摘要
本文探讨了 biasmos 一词在 Dionysius of Halicarnassus 的《Antiquitates Romanae》中的使用。该词被视为与现代强奸概念最接近的词,在希腊文学中非常罕见;但在狄奥尼修斯的历史中却多次出现,而且总是与伊利亚/瑞亚-西尔维娅的强奸案有关。本文通过分析狄奥尼修斯及其他作品中对该词素的考证,探究希腊历史学家为何在这一特殊事件中选择使用这一罕见的词汇,而在叙述其他性暴力行为时,他却摒弃了这一词汇。通过分析该词出现的上下文以及同义词 bia 在《罗马古史》中的内涵,本文认为该词汇的选择有助于突出《罗马古史》这一部分的重要主题,包括伊利亚作为暴力行为受害者的身份以及将强奸定性为不恰当使用武力。
This article examines the use of the word biasmos in Dionysius of Halicarnassus’ Antiquitates Romanae. This word, which has been seen as the closest equivalent to modern conceptions of rape, is quite rare in Greek literature; however, it is attested in several times in Dionysius’ history, always in relation to the rape of Ilia/Rhea Silvia. Analyzing the attestations of this lexeme in Dionysius and beyond, this paper asks why the Greek historian opted for this rare word, which he eschews when narrating other acts of sexual violence, in this particular case. Analyzing the contexts in which the word appears as well as the connotations with which the cognate bia in the Antiquitates Romanae, the paper argues that the lexical choice helps highlight important themes for this section of the Antiquitates Romanae, including Ilia’s status as a victim of a violent act and the characterization of this rape as the inappropriate use of force.
